Department of Defence,

Melbourne. 24th September, 1904.

AMENDMENT OF THE FINANCIAL AND ALLOWANCE REGULATIONS FOR THE NAVAL FORCES OF THE COMMONWEALTH, 1904 (PROVISIONAL), TO COME INTO OPERATION FORTHWITH.

PART II.—PAY OF PERMANENT FORCES.

Paragraph 52.—Special Duly Pay and Allowances—

For “1s. per hour when diving,” after the rating “Diver,” read “1s. 6d. per hour when diving.”

PART IX.— NAVAL MILITIA.

Cancel para. 76, and substitute therefor the following:—

76. Retainer.—The retainer will be paid in accordance with the following conditions:—

Class A.—The full retainer will be paid on completion of the twenty-one days’ training, or a proportion of the retainer may be paid on completion of any one of the periods of continuous training.

Class B.—The retainer will be paid quarterly, subject to the minimum number of drills for each quarter being performed, as required by paragraph 74, except that the quarterly retainer may be paid at the completion of the annual continuous training.

No retainer will, however, be paid for the quarter in which the period of annual continuous training is held, unless the member has attended such continuous training. In the event, therefore, of failure to perform the annual continuous training, the member will forfeit the retainer for that quarter. But if the annual continuous training be performed in any subsequent quarter the forfeited quarterly retainer shall be restored.

In the case of a less number of drills being performed than the minimum required in any quarter, payment of the retainer for such quarter will he held over, but the same may be paid at the end of any succeeding quarter, provided that the number of drills so deficient has since been made up.
